4. Guidelines for Microphone use
•
The D-37 microphone is designed
to be used as a handheld. When using,
do not cover the microphone grill with
your hand. The microphone can also be
placed in a microphone stand holder
(enclosed) or in a shockmount.
•
When using the microphone close to
vocals or other sound source, the
proximity effect appear. Proximity
effect is experienced like a more
powerful bass.
•
The D-37 microphone should be
aimed with the top grill towards
the sound source. See polar pattern.
•
The microphone should be placed as
close to the sound source as possible.
Used in vocal applications, unwanted
“pop” –sounds can appear. If so, use
the windscreen (enclosed) as an
external pop-filter.
•
When the microphone is used outdoors,
it may be advisable to use the wind-
screen to minimize wind noise.
•
Protect the microphone from water,
extreme heat and humidity.
•
Protect the microphone from dust
and dirt which may affect the
membrane.
5. Connection
The D-37 can be connected to any mic
input, mixer/amplifier, or mic preamp using
a standard microphone cable.
Microphone connection:
1 Ground (shield)
2 Hot (+ phase)
3 Cold (- phase)
Connecting the microphone to an
unbalanced input.
Pin 2 is the “hot phase“ and should be
connected to the input, and pin 3 of the
output must be connected to earth.
